Study Notes
Rock Outcrop Identification
- The image displays a rock outcrop.
- The layers and structure of the rock suggest it is a sedimentary rock.
- This type of rock is formed from the accumulation and compression of sediments.
- Layers are often visible from the deposition.
- The presence of fossils within sedimentary rock layers can indicate a location that was once at the bottom of a sea or ancient sea bed.
- A fossil-rich sedimentary rock would contain fossils.
- Igneous rock has a different texture and is formed from the cooling and solidifying of magma or lava.
